thanks everyone!
not to start any language holy wars, but yes, java has a... "cleaner"
implementation of object-orientedness than C++... and C++ tends to have too
many features that muddle object-oriented concepts... i was considering
using java if gcc C++ didn't turn out close to ANSI/ISO standards, but since
it seems compliant, then i'll try it out... i'll maybe try doing small
prototypes in C++ and in Java and see if the speed issue doesn't matter
much...
again, thanks!
regards,
joel
